Genelex Medical Director Co-authors Leading Book on Drug Interactions

Genelex’s Medical Director Dr. Jessica Oesterheld recently co-authored the Clinical Manual of Drug Interaction Principles for Medical Practice with other notable drug interaction experts, Dr. Gary Wynn, Dr. Kelly Cozza, and Dr. Scott Armstrong. Here’s what reviewers are saying:

Midwest Book Review: “Filled with complete and comprehensive and up to date research on drug interactions”The wrong mixture of over the counter drugs can be fatal, and doctors and pharmacists must be aware of these lethal combos. Clinical Manual of Drug Interaction Principles for Medical Practice is a scholarly work discussing this very real possibility that can be prevented with the right research and foresight. With the hundreds upon hundreds of new drugs entering the market every year, the research into this subject is now invaluable, as it could save thousands of lives.


Dr. G. Grammer: “Outstanding Reference”
This is the gold standard for drug interactions and should be part of any prescriber's reference set. Meticulously researched, it is the most up to date synopsis of the expanding field of drug metabolism and interactions.

Dr. Oesterheld is also the primary author of the GeneMedRx personalized medication management software. This drug interaction tool helps prescribers easily assess the cumulative risk of multiple drug and gene interactions. Free 30-day trial available at www.GeneMedRx.com.
